Claims priority, application Great Britain January 20, 1953 8 Claims.(Cl. 235138) This invention relates to tens transfer mechanisms for cashregisters and similar accounting machines having a plurality oftotalizers.

The specific embodiment of the invention is illustrated for use in amachine of the type shown in United States Patent No. 2,209,763, issuedto Ernst Brietling on July 30, 1940.

When one of the totalizers is used as an itemizer to accumulate a totalof the items making up each individual multiple-item transaction, whileanother one of the totalizers is used as a main totalizer to accumulatea grand total of all transactions, it is usual to mount the twototalizers either on separate shafts or side by side on he same shaft.At the end of a multiple-item transaction, the itemizer was then resetand its total transmitted to the grand totalizer. For this purpose theitemizer was engaged with the amount actuators during their settingmovement, while the main totalizer was engaged with the amount actuatorsduring their return movement and after the disengagement of theitemizer.

Only a relatively short period of time is available during a singlecycle of machine operation for the actuation of all the necessarymechanisms, with the result that the latter had to function at a highspeed, with consequent shocks and considerable wear and tear of theparts.

Where the two totalizers were mounted on separate shafts, of course, itwas possible to engage the main totalizer with the amount actuatorssimultaneously with the engagement of the itemizer, so that bothtoalizers received the individually-entered items. Such an arrangement,however, leads to an increase in the size of the machine and consequentincreased production costs.

In addition to the saving in space and manufacturing costs achieved bythe present arrangement of the totalizers and their tens transfermechanisms, only one engaging and disengaging mechanism is needed forthe totalizers, as opposed to two engaging and disengaging mechanismsthat would be required where the totalizers are mounted on separateshafts.

A further advantage over the previous arrangement of having thetotalizers mounted separately and side by side on the same shaft isthat, with the present construction, a single actuating gear can be usedfor entering amounts simultaneously into the two totalizers, whereas,obviously, separate gears must be used for the prior arrangement.

Furthermore, since amounts can be entered simultaneously into the twototalizers in the present machine, the engaging and disengaging movementof the totalizers can be spread over a greater period of the machinecycle than was previously possible.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a small, compact,and economical totalizer assembly comprising the two totalizers andtheir tens transfer mechanisms. In the new arrangement, the twototalizers are mounted on the same shaft, with their wheels of similardenominational value arranged in groups side by side. With such anarrangement, it has not previously been possible to enter amountssimultaneously into the two totalizers, due to the difficulty inproviding a transfer mechanism that would accommodate both independentand simultaneous tens transfers in the two totalizers. It is, therefore,a further object of the present invention to provide tens transfermechanism which will enable such tens transfers to be made.

According to one feature, the invention comprises a cash register orsimilar accounting machine including a "ice pair of interspersedtotalizers mounted on the same shaft, and separate tens transfermechanisms for the totalizers adapted to perform tens transfers eitherindependently in each totalizer or simultaneously in both totalizers.

According to another feature, the invention comprises a cash register orsimilar accounting machine, including a pair of totalizers mounted ininterspersed relationship on the same shaft, a common set of actuatorsfor the totalizers, a selecting mechanism for selecting the totalizersfor either independent or simultaneous actuation, an independent tenstransfer mechanism for each totalizer, and a common actuating mechanismfor the tens transfer mechanisms for causing either independent orsimultaneous tens transfer in the totalizers.

According to a further feature, the invention comprises a cash registeror similar accounting machine, including a main totalizer and amultiple-item totalizer mounted in interspersed relationship on the sameshaft, a common set of actuators for the totalizers, a selectingmechanism for selecting the maintain totalizer for actuation or forselecting both the main totalizer and the multiple-item totalizer forsimultaneous actuation, and independent tens transfer mechanism for eachtotalizer, adapted to effect tens transfers either independently in eachtotalizer or simultaneously in both totalizers.

With the above-mentioned and incidental objects in view, the inventionincludes certain novel features of constrnction and combinations ofparts, a preferred form or embodiment of which is hereinafter describedwith reference to the drawings which accompany and form a part of thisspecification.

Of said drawings:

Fig. 6 is a front perspective view of the totalizer assembly.

Fig. 7 is a rear perspective view of the totalizer assembly.

Fig. 8 is an enlarged inverted detail perspective view of one pair oftens transfer tripping members.

Fig. 9 is a side view of the machine function control lever and itsconnections to the totalizer shifting cam.

Fig. 10 is a section, taken approximately along the line 10-10 of Fig.9, looking in the direction of the arrows, showing also part of thetotalizer assembly.

The two totalizers and their tens transfer mechanisms are accommodatedbetween two main totalizer assembly side frames 11 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6,7, 8, and 9) connected together by a totalizer-supporting shaft 12(Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6) and a tie rod 13 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7).Spacing and support plates 14 (Figs. 1, 6, and 7) are mounted on theshaft 12 and the tie rod 13. The whole totalizer assembly is mounted forlateral sliding movement on a shaft 15 (Figs. 3, 5, 6, and 7) by meansof hubs 16 (see also Figs. 1, 2, and 10).

As can best be seen in Figs. 6 and 7, the wheels 17 of the maintotalizer and the Wheels 18 of the itemizing totalizer are mounted sideby side in pairs of simiiar denominational value on the shaft 12, eachpair being spaced apart by means of spacing discs 19 (Figs. 1, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, and 8) and spacing sleeves 20.

Actuating gears 21 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), one for each denomination,are rotatably mounted on a shaft 22 supported between main side frames23 (only one of which is shown in Fig. 10). The actuating gears 21 arewide enough [0 actuate the wheels 17, 18 simultaneously and are suitablyspaced apart by means of sleeves 24.

The actuating gears 21 can be set in accordance with the depressedamount keys (not shown) by means of any suitable setting mechanism,such, for instance, as that disclosed in United States patentapplication Serial No. 236,811, filed July 14, 1951, by Karl H. Tenoort,now Patent No. 2,666,573, issued January 19, 1954. When applied to alever-set machine, the actuating gears can be set in accordance with thesetting of levers, such, for instance, as that disclosed in theabove-mentioned Breitling patent.

The totalizer assembly may be rocked to engage the wheels of theselected totalizers with the setting gears 21 by means of any suitableengaging and disengaging mechanism driven by cams on a machine main camshaft.

When the totalizer assembly is in disengaged position, the wheels 17 and13 of the two totalizers are held against rotation by means of aligningpawls 25 (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7) freely mounted on a shaft 26 securedbetween the side frames 11 and spaced apart by means of sleeves 27.

Springs 28 are secured between projections 29 on the pawls 25 andprojections on transfer aligning pawls 30 freely mounted on a rod 31secured between the side frames 11 and spaced apart by means of sleeves32, so as normally to maintain the pawls 25 in engagement with theirrespective wheels 17 and 18, as seen in Fig. 7.

Notches 33 (Figs. 1 to cut in a shaft 34 supported in the machine sideframes 23, cooperate with the projections 29 on the pawls 25 in such amanner, as can be clearly seen from Figs. 2 to 5, that the pawls 25 forthe unselected totalizer wheels 17 or 18 remain in engagement with thesaid wheels, whereas full portions of the shaft 34 cooperate with theprojections 29 of the pawls 25 for the selected totalizer so as to rockthe pawls 25 clockwise, as seen in Fig. 2, out of engagement with thetotalizer wheels as the totalizer assembly moves to the engagingposition. Similarly, when the totalizer assembly moves to disengagedposition, the tensioned springs 28 for the rocked pawls 25 return thelatter counterclockwise, as seen in Fig. 2, until they again engage withtheir related totalizer wheels 17 or 13.

Fig. 2 shows the pawls 25 for the main totalizer 17 disengaged, Fig. 3shows a full portion of the shaft 34 holding the pawls 25 for bothtotalizers 17 and 18 in disenga ed positions, Fig. 4 shows the fullportion of the shaft 34 holding the pawl 25 for the main totalizer 17 indisengaged position, and Fig. 5 shows the full portion of the shaft 34holding the pawl 25 for the itemizing totalizer .18 in disengagedposition.

Totalizer selection The manner in which the totalizer assembly is movedaxially in relation to the setting gears 21, for the purpose ofselecting either of the totalizers 17 or 18, or both, prior to a machineoperation, for actuation by said gears 21 during the ensuing machineoperation, will now be briefly described.

A manually-operable function control lever 35 (Figs. 9 and is pivotallymounted on a main shaft 36 supported in the machine side frames 23 (Fig.10). This lever 35 has six positions of adjustment, which are Sub-totalmain totalizer 17 Sub-total itemizing totalizer 18;

Add in main totalizer 17;

. Add in itemizing totalizer 18 and main totalizer simultaneously;

. Total itemizing totalizer 18; and

. Total main totalizer 17.

Position No. 3 is used when entering single items which are to be addedinto the main totalizer 17 only.

Position No. 4 is used for the individual items comprised in amultiple-item transaction. which are to be added into both the maintotalizer 17 and the itemizing totalizer 18.

Position No. 5 is used when the total of the items comprised in themultiple-item totalizer 18 is to be taken.

The lever 35 can be located in any of its positions by means of aspring-urged pawl (not shown) cooperating with the notches shown in theupper surface of the lever in Fig. 9.

A lower surface of the lever 35 is formed as a toothed segment 37 (Figs.9 and 10) meshing with teeth 38 in a toothed segment 39 freely mountedon a stud 40 in the left side frame 23.

The segment 39 has a set of teeth 41 in its lower edge meshing with agear 42 free on a shaft 43 journaled in a sleeve 44 secured to the leftside frame 23.

Fast on the right-hand end of the shaft 43 is a drum cam 45 (Fig. 10)having a cam groove 46 cut in its periphery.

Secured to the bush 16 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 10) on the left-handtotalizer frame 11 is a totalizer assembly shifting member 47 (Figs. 6,7, and 10), carrying a roller 48 (Figs. 6 and 7) engaging in the camgroove 46.

Manual movement of the lever 35 (Figs. 9 and 10), prior to a machineoperation, will correspondingly rotate the segment 39 and the gear 42,so that the cam groove 46, cooperating with the roller 43 (Fig. 7), willcause the totalizer assembly to be shifted axially, either to the rightor to the left, on the shaft 15 (Figs. 3, 5, 6, 7, and 10), to positioneither the wheels 17 or 18, or both sets of wheels, into alignment withthe actuators 21 (Figs. 2 to 5) for actuation thereby when the totalizerassembly is rocked to engaging position.

When the lever 35 (Figs. 9 and 10) is moved to its sub-total or itstotal-taking position, it will control suitable mechanism to cause thetotalizer assembly to be rocked to engaged and disengaged positions atthe appropriate times during the cycle of machine operation.

Secured to a bush 49 (Figs. 5, 6, and 7), fastened to the left sideframe 11, is a pair of spaced aligning discs 50, which can be engaged ina suitable manner by a cooperating aligning member (not shown), so as toalign the totalizer assembly in any one of its three setting positions;i. e., totalizer 17 selected, totalizer 18 selected, or totalizers 17and 18 selected.

Tens transfer mechanism Since the totalizer 17 is used as a maintotalizer and the totalizer 18 is used as an itemizing totalizer, it isobvious that, after the completion of the first series of multiple-itementries following a resetting of both the totalizers, the two totalizerswill thereafter contain different amounts, and, therefore, theirrespective tens transfers, for corresponding denominational orders, willoccur either at the same time or at different times, in accordance withthe value of the amounts standing therein and the value of the amountsbeing currently added thereto. For

this reason a single tens transfer mechanism, common to two totalizerswhose respective wheels of similar denominational order are arrangedside by side on a common shaft, cannot be used for effectingsimultaneous transfers in the two totalizers, and it has not previouslybeen found possible to provide independent tens transfer mechanism foreach of such totalizers which will function when both totalizers areactuated simultaneously.

The present machine, however, provides a solution of this problem by asimple and compact arrangement of indiv dual tens transfer mechanismsfor each of the two totalizers, and by the provision of a commonactuating member for the two sets of tens transfer mechanisms.

The tens transfer mechanisms, and their actuating mechanism, will now bedescribed.

Each wheel of the totalizers 17, 18 is provided with a usual long tenstransfer tooth 51 (Figs. 2, 6, 7, and 8).

A rod 52 (Figs. 1, 2, 6, and 8) is secured between trunmons on each ofthe totalizer assembly side frames 11 and supports a series offreely-mounted tens transfer tripping members 53 and 54, one pair foreach denominational pair of totalizer wheels 17 and 18.

The tens transfer tripping members 53 each has a pair of mutually-offsetarms 55 (see also Fig. 2), and 56 (Figs. 6 and 8), and the tens transfertripping members 54 each has a pair of mutually-offset arms 57 and 58.The arms 55 and 57 lie in the plane of tens transfer tripping teeth 51on the corresponding totalizer wheels, while the arms 56 and 58 lie inthe plane of corresponding ones of a pair of tens transfer enteringmembers 59 and 60 (Figs. 1, 2, and 8) for the next higher denominationalorder and mounted on a shaft 61 secured between the side frames 11 ofthe totalizer assembly.

Each tens transfer entering member 59 and 60 has three arms, as can beseen in Fig. 2, which can be pro gressively brought into engagement, bya counterclockwise movement as seen in this figure, with the teeth ofthe related totalizer wheel 17 or 18, as will be described later.

The tens transfer aligning pawls 30 resiliently engage one tooth of eachof the tens transfer entering members 59 and 60, as can be seen in Fig.2, so as to retain them in their set positions and to prevent overthrowduring their actuation in a manner described later.

Pairs of torsion springs 62 (Figs. 1 and 2) are wrapped around spacingsleeves 63, which properly space the tens transfer entering members 59and 60, and each spring has one end bearing against a stud 64 on thecorresponding tens transfer tripping member 53 or 54, and the other endbearing against one of the sleeves 20 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), soas normally to maintain the arms 55 and 57 (Figs. 2, 6, and 8) in thepath of the tens transfer tripping teeth 51 (Figs. 2, 6, 7, and 8).

The members 53 are bent downwardly, as can be seen in Fig. 2, and areapertured to be engaged by the rod 52, while the arms 57 are alsoapertured so as to be engaged by the said rod 52. The tens transfertripping members 54 are also provided with additional arms, which areapertured to receive the rod 52.

Rotatably supported within the bush 49 (Figs. 5 and 6) is a tenstransfer actuating shaft 65 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7), to theleft-hand end of which is secured a driving gear 66 (Figs. 5, 6, and 7).

By means of a toothed slide (not shown), driven by means of cams on themachine main cam shaft, the gear 66, and thereby the shaft 65, can berocked backwards and forwards at each machine operation.

Pinned to the shaft 65 is a pair of studs 67, one of which is shown inFig. 1, engaging in elongated apertures 68, only one of which is shown,in a sleeve 69 surrounding the shaft 65 and extending across the entirewidth of the totalizer assembly.

The sleeve 69 has a series of wide apertures 70, two of which are shownin Fig. 1, one aperture being provided in each denominational order ofthe totalizers 17, 18, and each aperture being sufficiently long toaccommodate the arms of both of the corresponding pair of tens transferentering members 59 and 60 (see also Fig. 2) when the latter have beentripped, as will be described later. The apertures 70 are helicallydisposed radially around the sleeve 69, so that they cooperate seriatimwith the members 59 and 60, commencing with the lowest denomina tionalorder.

Adjacent each elongated aperture 70, the shaft 65 is counter-boredhelically so as freely to receive the noses of any tripped arms of thetens transfer entering members 59 and 69.

By the cooperation of the studs 67 (Fig. 1) with the aperture 68, thesleeve 69 will be correspondingly rocked at each rocking movement of theshaft 65.

In the usual manner, when the totalizer wheels 17 or 18 are reverselyrotated upon total or sub-total-taking operations, abrupt faces on thetens transfer tripping members 55 and 57 will cooperate with the longteeth 51 of the totalizer wheels to arrest the latter in their zeropositions.

Since the highest order pair of totalizer wheels 17, 18 has no tenstransfer tripping members 55, 57 associated therewith, there is provideda pair of zero control pawls 71 and 72 (Fig. 6) rockably mounted on therod 52 and urged by springs so that abrupt surfaces of said pawls 71 and72 will lie in the path of the long teeth 51 of the two highest ordertotalizer wheels 17 and 18 and thereby arrest them in th lr zeropositions for sub-total-taking and total-taking operations.

The operation of the tens transfer mechanism will now be described.

Assuming that both the wheel 17 and the wheel 18 have passed from 9 to 0during a simultaneous amount entry from the actuating gears 21, the arms55 and 57 will be contacted by the long teeth 51, and the tens transfertripping members 53 and 54 will be rocked counterclockwise about the rod52, as seen in Fig. 2, against the action of their springs 62, causingthe arms 56 and 58 (Figs. 6 and 8) to contact the cooperating arms ofthe pair of tens transfer entering members 59 and 60 (Figs. 1, 2, and8), rocking the latter also counter-clockwise, as seen in Fig. 2. Thearms of the members 59 and 6%) will thereupon enter the aperture 70 inthe sleeve 69 until arrested by contact with the full surface of theshaft 65. Upon the first rocking movement of the tube 69, after thedisengaging movement of the totalizer assembly, the rear edge of theaperture 70 will now contact the rear surfaces of the two arms of thetens transfer entering members 59 and 60, so that at this time the upperright-hand arms of the members 59 and 60, the former of which is shownin Fig. 2, will engage between two teeth of the corresponding totalizerwheels 17 and 18, advancing the latter by one step to make the tenstransfer.

At this time, the aligning pawls 25, engaging the teeth in the totalizerwheels 17 and 18, will hold them in their new positions, while the pawls30 will locate the tens transfer entering members also in their newpositions, while the shaft 65 and the sleeve 69 are rocked in theopposite direction to their home positions.

As soon as the long teeth 51 of the totalizer wheels 17 and 18 passbeyond the arms 55 and 57 of the tens transfer tripping members 53 and54, the tensioned springs 62 will immediately return the latter to theirhome positions, as shown in Fig. 2, wherein forwardlyextending armsthereof rest against the sleeves 63.

If only the main totalizer 17 has been selected for amount entry, and atens transfer occurs, then only the arm 55 of the tens transfer trippingmember 53 will be rocked to cause the tens transfer in the next higherorder, and, if the itemizing totalizer 18 only is selected, as may bearranged if desired, then only the arm 57 of the tens transfer trippingmember 54 will be rocked if a transfer is to be made.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that, if tens transfers areprepared simultaneously in both the totalizers, then simultaneous tenstransfer will be made to the next higher orders of said totalizers,while if a tens transfer is prepared in only one or the other of thetotalizers, while selected together or independently for addition, thenthe tens transfer will be made only to the next higher order of theappropriate totalizer.

Since, in the present machine, the totalizers are selected prior to amachine operation, by means of the manual lever 35 (Figs. 9 and 10),complicated machine-operated selecting mechanisms are dispensed with,and total and sub-total-taking operations can be performed in a shortermachine operating time than was previously necessary with suchmachine-operated selecting mechanisms. If desired, however, of course,the totalizers could be selected by the latter mechanism under thecontrol of depressed keys.

If desired, the manual lever 35 could be replaced by depressible keyswhich also cause a direct selection of the totalizer prior to a machineoperation.

While the form of mechanism shown and described herein is admirablyadapted to fulfill the objects primarily stated, it is to be understoodthat it is not intended to confine the invention to the one form orembodiment disclosed herein, for it is susceptible of embodiment invarious other forms.
